Encouragement gives people the courage to face challenges, persevere through hardship, and step into their destiny.
On the flip side, a discouraging environment shrinks people. James 3:9 – 10 warns,“ With the tongue we bless our Lord … and curse people made in His image.”
Sarcasm, gossip, favoritism— these things poison a healthy culture. Discouragement doesn’ t just hurt feelings; it steals courage.
Yeshua modeled honor when He restored Peter after he had denied knowing Him. Honor calls out destiny. Shame keeps people stuck in their past.
Cultivating a Relational, Mutual Culture of Honor Honor isn’ t a top-down leadership strategy. It’ s a relational, mutual culture that reflects the heart of Yeshua.
Ephesians 5:21 urges us,“ Submit to one another out of reverence for Messiah.” Leadership isn’ t about hierarchy— it’ s about serving.
Honor must flow in every direction. We honor leaders, yes, but we must also honor the overlooked, the young, and the servant-hearted. In fact, a culture of honor is one in which every person should receive love and feel valued.
1 Corinthians 12:23 – 24 reminds us,“ The parts we think are less honorable, we treat with special honor.”
